By March we will
have completely automated the tracking process of polling
site infrastructure and will be able to have visibility
to equipment including the PC memory cards that contain
the actual voting results from each electronic voting
machine said Elaine Larson, Assistant Registrar,
Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters. The
Symbol/Data ID Systems mobile solution eliminates
paper-based record-keeping to prevent mistakes and ensure
data record integrity.

The polling infrastructure
for Santa Clara County consists of touch screen voting
systems from Sequoia Voting Systems, memory cards, audio
equipment, ballot pamphlets and other printed material.
The bar coded items are assembled into a complete bar
coded voting kit that is then assigned to a particular
polling site.

Since each polling
location receives roughly five tracked voting machine
packages that must be received and picked up from each
polling location, we need to account for as many as
12,000 items during a primary election, said Steve
Skelton, director of Software Development, Data ID
Systems. The Symbol Palm-based mobile computer is
easy for election staff to use. The device has a long
battery life and runs on a proven mobile operating system
that can handle our fixed asset tracking application.
